Klick the link and you can listen to little snippets of each song. Sounds very good so far.

But be warned, it's just short samples.

Oh, so sad... Can someone capture the audio? With his phone, with a potato, I don't care, hahaha.
At least, I have the hope that the album will appear (by net) before August 19.

If you install Hola in Chrome (you can get it for free here: http://hola.org/)
You can 'pretend' to be in the US and you'll be able to stream.

if you don't want to buy it there will be a stream on proper sites like spotify where you can listen with a free account and you won't damage the artist

NPR is offering a stream, not a free download. If you want to download you have to buy it from iTunes, amazon, whatever

That's because you've installed some kind of plugin or extension to (illegally) download media files. I can assure you that NPR doesn't have the option to download.

Listened all the way through! It's very good because she is just magical. Snow is an early favorite. And, I still think We the Drowned is one of her best. I read somewhere that Dessner didn't want it to sound "pretty" but I think that's impossible with Lisa. Her voice is just gorgeous. It's definitely a bit more haunting because of the echoes and voice layers. Not sure if I like that as much. I need to listen more carefully for the words because she is such a clever lyricist. I'll do that when I get the album. I hope she tours in the US soon!!

I love Snow as well. At first it sounds deceptively simple, but it's very well crafted.
Overall the album has a very vintage feel to it, as if you found an old dusty record on your grandparents' attic.

I'm really proud of myself here because I resisted the urge to listen to it before aug-19 !

(yay me, pat on the back and all that)



.

Well almost...
So yeah I admit it : Songlike treasures (a.k.a "Snow") I couldn't resist !
To my defense I just adooooooore this song soooooooo much !!!
And then well we had it on YouTube from the Boston calling event, and also I experienced live in Newbridge/Kildare...
It's not cheating I mean... Awwwww come on !!!
Oh I feel so weak... But then I soooooo love this song !!!
I mean I still resisted 90.9% of the album so hmmm yeah still, it's something, right ? riiiiiiight ???
Also I've been super nice since last X-Mas I promise...
(Not that I'm un-nice the rest of the time anyway.)
I TRIIIIIED !!! I trieeeeed to resist "Snow", I sweeeeeeear : I just couldn't...
I mean all the new unreleased songs (Barton, Tender and all that) I'll discover at the same time as the rest of the world.
So yeah this is a feat right ? riiiiiiight ???

I'm going to try lyrics when my album comes, but I've listened to it on npr over and over again. It is so soothing and dark and complex.

i've taken a listen to bits of songs and the whole funeral suit (as it's my favorite). mixed feelings. the timing is so weird and complex (4 bars and then three times 3 bars and i can't even count the woooah part) and there's no guitar. i think it's good but i'm just not used to it as i listened to the GIH one excessively.

there are electronic beats and looped vocals in some songs which was unexpected since i thought there'll be a lot of guitar songs like Fall. i don't think i'll resist till 19th now that i have the access to the whole album, but i'll try my best haha.

Wow, "We, The Drowned" album version is just the best thing.

I don't like "Snow" as much as some of you. Not a big fan of "Lo" either. I don't know if I should continue, the album comes out tomorrow!!

I listened to "Funeral Suit" because of your comment igor and I like it better than "Snow" at the moment.

I honestly don't see anything wrong with listening when it's streaming on an official site like npr? Feel free to wait for the physical album, but I'm listening now and not feeling any guilt at all

i totally agree, caro. i´m just old fashion minded if i lived in a country where the record would not be easy to get, i would definitely stream. i did it with 9 back in the days and i was beyond grateful for that opportunity! i hope you all are enjoying reviews and comments are promising alright!

sorry for double post, i'm on my phone. it seems to me that lyrics are not so arcane anymore as they were on passenger which is a good thing, bit more rewarding when listening i guess. but i still have to dive into them to be sure. (fall, we, the drowned and few others being the exception)

When I pre-ordered the album, I also got a digital copy of the album. That digital copy got released to me today. So technically, the album is released today right? Seeing as I have the official digital copy of it. Therefore I can listen to it entirely, guilt free?

Here's what I hear so far:

I was adrift
Caught in the ropes
under a pinhole sky
blowing off course

??? the sea
under the ???
pulling the water 'round
and ???

I'm going home
I'm going ???
Won't you come with me
Won't you come with me

You'll be the boat
I'll be the sea
Won't you come with me
Won't you come with me


Feel free to fill in y'all!

Has anyone received their pre-ordered physical copy of the album yet? Just curious...
